Agentless Asset Discovery, Made Simple

Q: What does "agentless" mean in asset discovery?

Agentless means no software agents are installed on servers, endpoints, or cloud workloads. Instead, Secure.com uses API-based asset discovery to connect directly to your cloud environments, SaaS tools, and security stack—simplifying deployment and reducing setup time by 30%.

Q: How does Secure.com perform agentless asset discovery?

Secure.com uses automated API polling to identify machines, applications, and their relationships across your cloud infrastructure. This data powers real-time cloud asset inventory, ML-driven classification, and an always-updated CMDB that brings unified visibility to your environment.

Q: What benefits does agentless discovery provide?

Our zero-agent deployment—requiring no installs and taking 30 minutes to set up—improves classification accuracy by 40%, eliminates 12 hours per week of manual tracking, and delivers real-time cloud asset visibility with complete attack surface mapping.

Q: How quickly can organizations get started?

Most organizations are fully operational within 30 minutes. Agentless onboarding removes all deployment complexity, while our Success Engineers ensure a smooth setup and immediate value.

Q: Does Secure.com integrate with existing tools?

Yes. Secure.com offers 500+ integrations, including SIEMs, IdPs like Azure AD, HRMS, productivity suites, IaC tools, and more. Our context-aware platform unifies data seamlessly—with zero agents required.

Secure.com delivers AI-powered, agentless asset discovery for lean teams. Gain real-time cloud asset visibility, ML-driven classification, and a live attack surface map—all without the burden of deploying agents across your environment.

The Cloud's Blind Spots: Why Traditional Asset Discovery Fails

Agent-based and manual asset discovery create unnecessary overhead, incomplete visibility, and expanding blind spots. Without a unified agentless approach, risks grow while security clarity fades.

Deployment Headaches

Agent-based tools require complex rollouts and ongoing maintenance, often leaving critical assets undiscovered or unmonitored.

Resource Drain

Manual asset tracking consumes up to 12 hours per week, placing a heavy burden on already lean security teams.

Risk & Compliance Gaps

Fragmented or outdated asset data slows detection, increases MTTR, and complicates compliance across regulated industries.

What Is Agentless Asset Discovery?

Agentless asset discovery identifies and catalogs digital assets across cloud and on-prem environments without installing software agents. Secure.com uses API-based discovery to deliver rapid onboarding in under 30 minutes, with zero deployment overhead.
With standards-based CMDB automation and ML-driven asset classification, Secure.com provides live visibility across cloud assets, eliminates 40% of blind spots, and delivers deep context for understanding your full attack surface—making it a powerful solution for lean security teams.

Modern vs. Traditional Discovery

Traditional Asset Discovery

Limited and Reactive - Organizations face "too many tools" and "not enough clarity," resulting in "thousands of alerts—and zero clarity." Traditional approaches cause blind spots, misclassification, and dependence on manual tracking.

Periodic & Manual - Relies on infrequent network scans and manual spreadsheets that are tedious, error-prone, and quickly outdated.

Limited Scope - Often covers only on-premise IT assets while completely missing cloud resources, SaaS applications, and shadow IT.

Lack of Context - Provides raw technical data (like IP addresses) but lacks business context, ownership, and interdependency insights.
